Morison

b.1952

This website is an archive of my work. It will hopefully be a useful tool for anyone interested in the work I make as a contemporary visual artist. All works have been posited to a system of 10 separate groups. Each group, I-X is aligned with a particular material or quality and a geometrical form. This system, which is also a consistent device within many of the works, draws together works with similar preoccupations. Note that this archive is incomplete— if you own a work that is not featured in this archive, I would be very grateful for your help in providing me with a description and photographic documentation.
